It was quite evident that it had been mainly held for the introduction of Ruth Fielding and her chum into the society of the Briarwood girls. Those gathered in the assembly room did not number any Seniors, but were all of the Junior grade, and all older than Ruth and Helen. "Primes" were not allowed by Mrs. Tellingham to join any of the class-governed societies.
There was something chic about the figure, and the face, while looking like nobody in particular, was a composite of several of the girls. At least, it was an inspiration on the part of Mary Cox, and when Mrs. Tellingham saw it, she approved. "We'll just send this 'Big Foot Girl' broadcast," cried Helen, who was proud that her spoken word had been the inspiration for Mary's clever cartoon.
"Nothing has happened at home? Uncle Jabez Aunt Alvirah ?" "Nothing is wrong with them at all, my dear," declared the lady, kindly. "It is Mr. Cameron. He wants you to come to New York at once. Here is transportation for you. He will meet your train at the Grand Central Station." "Mrs. Parsons' necklace!" gasped Ruth. "He says something about that yes," said Mrs. Tellingham.
"Stop! never mind explaining. I shouldn't be able to aid you. Mrs. Tellingham my wife, my dears will be here anon." He at once bobbed down his head, revealing nothing to the eyes of the two girls but the brown wig and the hair that didn't match, and went on whispering to himself. Helen and Ruth exchanged glances and Helen had difficulty in keeping from laughing outright. In a moment more Mrs.
"But you do not know how Miss Cameron will receive the suggestion of having a third girl in your small room?" "Oh, Helen is so kind!" Ruth cried. "I do not believe she will object. And she is sorry for Mercy." "I know you have been Helen's constant companion. Do you think you have been as good friends as you were when you came to Briarwood, Ruth?" asked Mrs. Tellingham, with sharpness. "Helen!
But after her talk with Mrs. Tellingham about the mystery of the campus, she was troubled to think that she was taking any part in the French teacher's private affairs. Helen was so filled with the excitement of the day, and of her long talk with her twin brother, that she did not observe Ruth's distraught manner. "And we'll have such fun!" Ruth finally awoke to hear her chum declare in a whisper.
"The influence of Ruth and some of her friends has extended to our next class as well," Mrs. Tellingham had said. "Nettie Parsons and Ann Hicks will be of assistance, too, for another year. I wish, however, that Ruth Fielding's example and influence might continue through my time I certainly do."
"Sure," said Tony, to Ruth, "he's jist the bye after me hear-r-t. Herself would like him, he's that doomb!" "Herself" was Tony's wife, who was the cook at Briarwood Hall. "And the way that boy do be lovin' flowers! Sure, his bed in the horspital is jest covered wid 'em. He'd be a handy lad to have here ter give me aid, so he would. An' I been tellin' Mis' Tellingham that I need another helper."
Tellingham herself was speaking to Ann. "No, Ma'am. We don't know where to look for her," Ann said. "We haven't any idea." "Yes, Ma'am; Helen and I have looked. She hasn't taken any of her clothes." "Oh, goodness! you don't really suppose she's run away?" "Do come here, Ruth, and hear what Mrs. Tellingham says!" Ruth went to the telephone and heard the principal of Briarwood Hall talking.
Oh, dear, Helen! if I could only win the reward that woman offers for the return of her necklace!"
